| Turn Away
You put yourself in fire
Turn to someone else
You are the...... cry out searching for success
Left your thoughts in darkness
One day they'll return
Some other guide our lesson would be good to learn
Don't get it down on me
Don't ever Turn Away!
Break trough your barriers |

О, да, ему опять это удалось! Немного модернизировав название группы (формально в нем теперь целых три буквы “a”, хотя на логотипе этого практически не заметно), Андре Матос записал альбом, который заставит практически всех слушателей открыть рот от изумления. Первая же вещь “Turn Away” – как удар кулаком в лицо: такого экстремального гитарного звука а-ля последние работы Блэйза Бейли у Матоса еще не было. Дальше становится еще интереснее – электронные лупы, настоящий оркестр, порой записанный параллельно с электроникой, баллада в духе «Робби Уильямс поет песни Queen”, кавер (не падайте со стула) Sisters Of Mercy “More”… Вообще, за аранжировки на этом альбоме Shaaman заслуживают настоящего памятника. А второй памятник, ничуть не меньше, нужно ставить продюсеру Саше Пету – хотя бы за то, что благодаря его усилиям ню-металлическая гитара, электронный луп и «живой» оркестр могут звучать одновременно, причем ни один из этих компонентов не будет «задвинут» или, наоборот, «вытащен» вперед. Конечно, все это великолепие имеет побочные эффекты – мало того, что “Reason” не вписывается в рамки не одного из существующих стилей, он еще и требует минимум трех прослушиваний для адекватной оценки, да и назвать хотя бы одну песню на диске (за исключением кавера Sisters Of Mercy) хитом в полном смысле этого слова я бы не рискнул. Но слушать то, что наворотили здесь бразильцы, безумно интересно и приятно. Другую столь же рискованную и удачную авантюру вам еще придется поискать. (Диск предоставлен компанией CD-Maximum) |

Бразильцы Shaman в 2003 году выпустив сильнейший альбом «Ritual», заявили о себе как об одном из самых лучших современных коллективов на прогресcив пауэр металической сцене, наравне с Masterplan и Kamelot. Поэтому выпуска второго диска Андре Матоса и компании, если ждали не все, так многие. И вот через два года ожиданий это сбылось, и можно сказать, что всё это время мы ждали не зря. «Reason» – это продолжение праздника для всех любителей навороченного пауэр метала! Если сравнивать с последними творениями того же Мастерплана «Aeronautics» и Камелота «The Black Halo», то можно с полной уверенностью заявить, что Шаман плотно граничит с их успешностью, а где-то даже выигрывает! Однако, по сравнению с предыдущим альбомом «Ritual», рассматриваемый диск выглядит несколько слабее, и в основном из-за резкого уменьшения прогрессивных элементов и доминирования гитарного саунда, однако собственный стиль группа не потеряла, а вокал Матоса до сих пор радует своей красотой и яркостью. Несколько удивляет готическая странноватая обложка, в принципе, как и кавер на Sisters Of Mercy, хотя если бы я не знал что это кавер, то так бы и принимал эту песню за собственный материал Шамана – так она хорошо вписалась в общее настроение пластинки. Качество записи отличное, техника музыкантов тоже на уровне, а вот аранжировки как мне показалось, стали более продвинутыми и симфоничными. Я не совсем согласен с предыдущим рецензентом по части гитарных риффов – до Блэйза Бэйли они совсем не дотягивают, тем более что и на предыдущем альбоме они были агрессивными и жёсткими, просто на «Reason» гитары стали более кристальными, чёткими и выделяющимися на общем плане. С мелодической стороны пластинка выглядит достаточно впечатляюще. На ней хватает как 100% хитов в виде открывающего напористого номера «Turn Away», уже упомянутого драйвового кавера «More», средне темповой композиции «Scarred Forever», энергичной «Iron Soul», так и более прогрессивных и сложных композиций типа «Rough Stone», «Born To Be» и «In The Night». В целом, «Reason» - замечательный диск, и самое главное то, что он действительно может порадовать, в то время как гранды классического пауэра в последнее время только и делают, что разбивают надежды всех своих поклонников. И ещё должен заметить, что последний релиз Ангры «Temple Of Shadows» я оценил очень низко, и кажется, что упадок её уже чётко наметился, несмотря на огромную и стойкую популярность, а вот Шаман продолжает рулить! Мастхэв… |

Shout down diamond...
And give me tragic lies of simple misunderstood
Step me what you need now
To be that someone else
Is that another desire! it will be your last?
Don't get it down on me
Don't ever Turn Away!
Leave me alone
Seeds now are raised and grown
Guide me today
Reason
Strange how summer blowssoms
Blew away so late this year
Falling from above, so soft as snow
All around you
The days, I'd like to bring back
Side by side with you
And peer trought that old black window
And see red-blue skies so near, but
Say the world
And I'll be ready to make a sacrifice
Stay – Don't turn around
There's only one reason
All my life I wished I was here
Looking for a chance to cry out
All the pain that turned me into stone
And thoughts that haunt me day by day
The word is now
I'm ready to make my sacrifice
Pray – Imagine all the things
That I never talked about
Stay – Don't turn around
You're the only one
Won't you save me, take me away
There's no more reason to hide
Try to make a stand
It's not only tears in my eyes
Somewhere I'm all alone... without you
Flowers
Won't you save me, take me away
I've felt so lost as I've tried
Hold me, help me stand
Don't mind the tears in my eyes
Someday we'll pass away
Is there a time to go by?
Take a breath and smile
Fortune is to be alive
For apparently no reason
More
Some people get by
with a little understanding
some people get by
with a whole lot more
I don't know
why you gotta be so undemanding
one thing I know
I want more
I want more
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
(and I need all the love I can get)
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
D'you get scared to feel so much?
to let somebody touch you?
so hot, so cold, so far so out of control
hard to come by, and harder to hold
Some people get by
with a little understanding
some people get by
with a whole lot more
I don't know
why you gotta be so undemanding
I want more
(and I need all the love I can get)
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
(and I need all the love I can get)
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
There are parts of me that don't get nervous
not the parts that shake
you won't get what you deserve
you are what you take
learning to cry for fun and profit
I'm not done yet
counterfeit dollars or the English zloty
anything I can get
Some people get by
with a little understanding
some people get by
with a whole lot more
I don't know
why you gotta be so undemanding
one thing I know
I want more
(and I need all the love I can get)
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
(and I need all the love I can get)
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
All the love that you can get
all the love
that I can't get to
Innocence
I woke today
Inside the train of dreams
the rain poured down in black and white
I stood and stared
the rest of what remains
My own world crumbling around (a wild world crumbling around)
I held my tears
One day comes after another
the falling rain
carassed my skin again
just let it flow to wash away
the time gone by
feeling long denyed
my heart is no more bounded in vain (in pain)
and now its clear
one day leads on to another
I dried my tears (cried my tears)
there's so much else to dicover
somewhere...
I hear the sound
Of thousand voices
I lost my innocence
I'm on my way
Across the desert
To rescue what I sent
Out of my heart and way
Now it's clear
One day leads on to another
To find our fears
Find the way back to each other
oh!
I hear the sound
Of thousand voices
I lost my innocence
I'm on my way
Across the desert
To rescue what I sent
Out of my heart...
I hear the sound
f thousand voices
I lost my innocence
and I'm on my way
across the desert
to rescue what i sent
out of my heart and way
Scarred Forever
There's a chance for you and me
Further away from this believe
When the prayers reach the sky
Cause I know man that you will cry no more
Run, running away, falling apart
Thunder of fate colliding
Everyday I see your face
Through my empty I met this grace
When it's cracking up inside
Cause I know man that you will cry no more
Run, running away, falling apart
Fear of the heart now torning two
Shadows of day out in the dark
Fury scarred forever
And always empty nights are left behind
Always the moment is right you can't deny your faith
Deny your faith
The hatefull lair disturbs the sky
It's time to say goodbye
Along the way a wishing well
Turn off the light let us have
Our last goodbye and then
Run, running away, falling apart
Fear of the heart of torning two
Shadows of day out in the dark
Fury scarred forever
Always empty nights are left behind
Always the moment is right you can't deny your faith
Deny your faith
Deny your faith
In The Night
In the night, realm of dreams
Wildness creed, descending
All so quiet, all so still
Prowling in silence in the night
In the heighs, on the peaks
Rainy clouds surrounding
There are cities made of light
Ripping through the black of night
All becomes so real
Making dreams come true
To release your mind and free your soul
Fly away from this land
Made of old scraps of sorrow
No way back, free to ride
Hesitation, sacrifice
Mesmerize, hold on tight
Fur the heavens bend down
There's a tunnel, long and winding
Leading on towards the light
All become so real
Making dreams come true
To release your mind and free your soul
Free yourself from misery, let go
Hear my voice and I will guide your roaming
Oh, free yourself from misery, let go
Hear my voice and I will light your road
Leave behind the world you know, and float
Hear my voice and I will guide your roaming
Rough Stone
Flowing down inside the stream
Blowing all around
Like another day of spring
Spreading out through the ground
Changing seasons come and go
Before and after life
And the sun will set again
Bringing out the darkest night
Only made to disappear?
Life's a rough stone
And the future, unclear
Wait for the day of your life
That you will meet the unkown
There's nowhere else to go
Wait for the truth, not a lie
It will meet you alone
End of all illusion
Only made to disappear?
Life's a rough stone
And the future, right here
So much pain, suffering and strife
Mystery of death
Brings a new man to life
Iron Soul
Look aroun, what do you see?
Caught up in humillity?
Too many souls are on their own
Fallen angels moving on
There's more to get, more to find
Feelings of another kind
The choice is set, take it soon
For even you won't be inmune now
I'd count it a miracle
If I ever see your smile
Throw away your illusions, dear
Don't keep trusting your own lies
Who's in command of your heart?
Of your hope?
Past thoughts are vague
As they soar high and low
Yet someday, still alive
You will find a will to strive
For someone else will come along
To lift you up, to right the wrong
And you will see within your eyes
Figures that comes back to life
You'll touch the wounds that never heal
Love is raw, it's not for real
I'd count it a miracle
If I ever see your smile
Throw away your illusions, dear
Let me hold you for a while
Who's in command of your heart, of your hope?
Past thoughts are vague, running out of control
There was a time when the fields were green
The world was one, life was filled with something
There was a blue sea, on the horizon
There was a dream of a lasting fire
We bottomed out, life's become so cruel
Along the way, a regardless torment
Is there a cause that we would die for?
Is there a place where the spirit lives on?
Who's in command of your heart, of your hope?
Past thoughts are vague, running out of control
There's more to know and there's much more beyond
The faith that you've lost you will find on your own
Trail Of Tears
Not for a day
Not for a while
You run alone you never satisfied
Oh you've been dreaming for a hundred years
So you begin
To understand
That your lifetime is running through your hands
Oh! Will forgive you for this Trail of tears
There you go out
Someone to know
Easy to find
Full feel your hearts will blew of many kinds
Only will change it for its train of shore
There you go
Hearing voices and noises to go
There you stand
Back in time every hour once begin
There you walk and then...
After a shock
Time to recompose
No bleeding heart
"So the screamings that you feel"
Oh! Will forgive you for this Trail of tears
There you go
Hearing voices and noises to go
There you stand
Back in time every hour once begin
There you walk, my friend!
Born To Be
I looked inside me
To find myself
To purify me
To cease the thing
Across the river
A life goes by
Look inside the mirror
And you will find out
Solitude I was born
Terrify me
Fail of mystic broke in front of my eyes
I walked in shadows
I drown in rain
I met the desert
'Cause I'm born again
Across the river
A life goes by
Look inside the mirror
And you will find out
Solitude I was born
Crucify me
Wearing the crowd of thoughts I am
Freedom!
Born to be a man
Emptiness!
Made me understand
Oh! Let me hear the deep within
Oh again freedom!
Born to be the man
Deadliness!
Crush the way deserve
Trough one of the deep within
Shy the stream without a lie
Raft in frozen lands of life
Seems the song of what we are
